Sula, that's terrible! Not such a great reward for making such a lovely and delicious looking repast for your friends! I am glad there were no new cracks in your walls from where ever the earthquake's center was. All those little metal bowls look like fun at the table, even if it was a lot of work to clean up. If I was in your neighborhood, I would've gladly helped to clean up. All those little relishy things look so yummy! Glad you are okay, I just wish there were a kind of transmogrification chamber, that we could step into, and be at each others house at a moments notice with! Just imagine all the fun we could all have then! Showing up to give and get hugs, snacks, etc, easier than the mail!

Sula, check for a recall on your Bosch. Had the control panel changed on mine shortly after it was installed.
Food looked good.

WOW, WOW, WOW!! Where to begin??
First and foremost I want to start with our sisters that have things coming up this week.
Lucy, I know you said you have your tests coming up on the 24th which is tomorrow for us. But if I'm not mistaken, you are already into the 24th. We are all in your pocket!! I know how nervous you've been about these tests. We are all there holding your hand!! Great big hugs to you!! Please let us know how it goes.
Next there is Huronite, I believe you said you BF is having surgery on the 24th. Sending best wishes that all goes well for him. We are all here for you!
Ok, now I'll try and catch up from where I left off.
Rain, Yes....I have the same problem with auto correct. Drives me insane.
Ducky, You're words always speak to my heart. Thank you for always sharing so much of yourself. It's no secret how special you are to me, and I will always admire everything you've done for your family in the face of such tragedy. Such a beautiful story. The shore home looks wonderful. I hope it sells quickly for you. Those memories will ALWAYS be with you. We will never leave each other Ducky. You are stuck with the crazies!!! haha
Katy, Those words are so true. I also feel very protective of my sisters here on BCO. I think our emotions run high while going through treatment, and the people that help see you through are friends you will never forget. You typically manage to say what's in my heart. So from now on when you say something, I'm just going to say....DITTO....because you say it so much better than me!! haha....Also, what's with all this delicious looking food?? Man, you're all driving me more bonkers than I already am. It all looks so good!! I LOVE the scent of basil!!
gaia, I'm sorry you have that darn monkey on your back. I can't imagine what you must be going through. I'm glad you took that turn into our Crazy Town thread. We will all stand by your side. I often turn on music and just dance like crazy when I'm alone. I can't walk for the next week, but it always feels so good at the time!!! Music makes everything better in my opinion. I have not seen that movie, but it sounds like it should be added to my list.
Collenmck, Welcome to this crazy thread!! I hope you'll pick a comfy chair and stay with us. We are all just trying to get through our day with as much laughter as we can. I'm so glad you could join us!!
Tomboy!!! shhhhhhhhhhhh!!...Remember, what's done in Oceanside, stays in Oceanside!!! hahaha
Octogirl, I love your beautiful duck love story. We all need a little ducky in our lives!! I'm not sure what your creepy crawlies could be. Have you mentioned it to your MO?? Anyone else here experience this???
SuzyBlue, I hope this thread will always be a place where women can come and feel a part of something. I think that is so important while going through this BC nonsense. So whether we've know you for one hour or two years, you will always be a part of us when you post to this thread. It is my hope that no one ever feels like they are on the outside looking in. Be prepared though....our crazy does rub off!!! haha
PTS, I love my heating pad too. Maybe when you go out you can tape an icy hot patch to your butt!!! I hope all your chiro is covered!!
Sula......holy smokes!!!! Man O man that dinner looks awesome. Now we know why you've been so quiet. What happy guests you must have had. Truly a masterpiece!! One good thing about doing dishes till two in the morning....no time for a visit to Crazy Town!!
I'm going to log off now and type my story for the weekend. This post is already so long!! This way if I do it in two posts, I don't feel like such a bopplegush. My dad's word for when we would talk too much!!0 -
Since chemo my mind has been S L O W....just like my name. I have such a difficult time remembering small things. My husband and I were on our way to Sam's Club today and the conversation went like this....
Him: Don't forget to put the chicken in the freezer. Today is the last day to either cook it or freeze it.
Me: I sure hope I remember to do that when we get home.
Him: You need a mental key.
Me: I'm sure I would lose it or not remember where I put the key.
Him: No, not that kind of key. A mental key or trigger.
Me: ooookkkkaaaay. <Thinking what the heck is he talking about>
Him: Think of a chicken. He is wearing a scarf and goulashes. He also has on ear muffs and a sheep leg running down his nose.
Me: <Thinking>I couldn't stop thinking about that poor chicken all through our shopping trip. I was thinking about that poor, freezing chicken even when we were on our way home. Did I remember to put the chicken in the freezer??? NOPE.....Luckily my DH remembered!! Guess the mental key didn't work for me. Sure glad it worked for him!!! Now I'm wondering how I can use this mental key thingy to my advantage. heh heh
Oh.....and Lucy.....I found a new logo for our T-shirts.
Edited to add: Goodnight my crazies. Love you all!!!

Sula- I just saw the food you made last night. Fit for for a king's table. As much art in presentation as I've seen. The colors! Wow. Sorry about the dishwasher. 😥😥😥

@ Jackbirdie thank you for the explaining. And I have knee cancer too then. I started on Glucosamine Chondrontin…hoping that helps. Oh and I have bunion cancer as well. I am feeling right at home here in crazy town.

ok,
So I've been going back and trying to read everything everyone is writing...
Gaia,
How did your lunch meeting go? My husband and I are screenwriters so we're in our office at home working every day and I cook lunch. Usually that's very simple as generally I don't eat meat, I've been cooking Indian food for 25 years, (my oncologists idea back in 90) and we do a lot of entertaining both in LA when there and up here in Sonoma. I didn't do any dinner parties for mist of the year as I couldn't taste anything but now that the tastebuds are back....
Ducky,
Good luck on the house sale, I'm sure it'll go fast. It's never easy having that sort of change, especially moving on from a place full of such happy memories. Did you bury a St Joseph statue in the front yard for a fast sale? I've heard about that... It seems a lot of people in LA were doing that. Our neighbor around the corner lost her husband very suddenly over the holidays , they were on a cruise and he dropped dead. She's doing much better and just got back from a vacation. She's now saying she's going to be putting her house on the market , she doesn't want to stay there in such a big place alone, plus she feels she'll do better without the memories.
Tomboy,
I totally get how you feel about your man. We've been together since my husband got out of college ( he's two yrs older than I) and we also have worked together our whole lives in fact we wrote together before we ever even dated. We lived together for 5 yrs before we got married so we're paired up both romantically and professionally. I feel the same way you do!
Slow,
Put me on the test list this week. I'm having my MUGA test on Tuesday to see how my heart is doing on herceptin this will be my third test so far so good, keep your fingers crossed!
I know I'm forgetting people so I'll be going back over the crazy town boards and see what I've missed.
So good luck to all of us next week Crazy Town rules!

Sula, that is one spectacular looking meal. Note on the Bosch: we got a new one last fall, and it has been very reliable. Hope they fix/replace immediately.
Slow, that would be me in the car. Except my mental key would be something like OMG PUT THE CHICKEN IN THE FREEZER YOU STUPID GIT, and it would blot out every other mental process, rendering me unfit for conversation during the entire shopping trip. Sounds like your DH found the mental key that let him do it! Which is all that matters, eh?

Sula, that spread looks amazing, I do get the crashing dishwasher, dang but I have replaced them too often and much more than any other appliance.
Think my brain is crashing and we all know what that means but need a trip to veggie market for green things

Morning All!
I managed to stay out of Crazy mind last night-I think all that dancing around to very loud N. W. A. helped a ton! Though the neighbors might not have appreciated it very much. Will likely need more of that today as I am planning on picking up my script for tamoxifen later. UGH. Breathing and having a big mug of bone broth right now. Also planning out my fall schedule with work; being proactive and forward thinking/planning feels good but also a little scary. Questions lurking like: 'will I have the energy?', 'how will I handle making food for others if my taste buds change?"etc..... Any Hoo
Sula- what a feast! and what a bummer about the dishwasher. I used to have a supper club in my loft 8-15 or so people and no dishwasher, but I knew what I was in for. when one is anticipating a tool and it breaks down,that's a bummer. Hope it get resolved quickly! My lunch date was lovely and empowering. Amy is very generous with her knowledge and her spirit; I am sure to be spending more time with her. Also good wishes on the Muga- I will be getting my first one in the next week or so. I am claustrophobic BIG TIME- so all this scan stuff freaks me on another level- my man came in the room and talked me the whole way through The PET/CT.
Slow I love the new tee shirt! and the chicken story. I haven't even started any of the drugs yet, but I already feel like my mind is going some days.... argh.
Katy I hope the knee cancer is clearing up!
Also I second Slow's best wishes for everyone going through testing this week. Crazy Town, the 'Big Top', and all who watch over us have your back.
Back to work for now!
Hugs

Gaia- I second the motion. Thinking of all my crazies this morning. Off to yoga. I think it's helping. I never could do it cuz I'm INFLEXIBLE. But now I know I need it for my head too and have an excuse recovering from bmx why I just can't do it all but I try. The instructor knows about my situation and looks out for me and I feel special love coming from the class when we have "that moment" towards the end

Gaia,
thanks..I'm not claustrophobic..in fact just the opposite so I'd be in trouble if they decided to do these tests in a great big room. Glad your lunch went so well, and dancing like no one's watching is always a good idea..especially if no one is watching.
Jack,
have fun at yoga, I'm in my office trying not to give myself more knee cancer by twisting my legs all around under me while I write.
speaking of writing.....we're starting a new movie today...that is if the outline passes muster.I promised the guys at the hospital I'd bring them Mexcian wedding cookies when I come for my next MUGA, so I'll be doing that this afternoon (anything for good results!)
see you guys later this evening...when the lights come on in Crazy Town!

Sim coming up on Wednesday. Sigh. I'll be out snffing my basil.

Sula you really are killing me. I love love love Mexican wedding cake/cookies. I want summa dat!
Can you put the recipe in the next Crazytown edition? You know, the one with all the butts on the front page?

I'm wondering if you make your own bread?

Hello all
I've been mostly lurking in the dark alleyways of Crazy Town for the past few weeks, however, I had my last chemo last Wednesday. So, this Wednesday, I've got post chemo imaging - mammo and MRI on Wednesday, and then appts with both BS and PS on Thursday. I expect things will be mighty crazy those two days.
Sula - the Indian food is killing me - it all looks delicious.
Good luck to everyone this week!

I'll take the second "S" Ass. Does that make sense?
Now, that is true bravery!

Forget about the asses! I want some of those good strong healthy arms, without lymphedema!

Edited to add: Colleen, bunion cancer!! hahahahaha Good one!!
Another edit....sure wish I could read better.....PTS, better make sure you buy some asparagus for the brain cancer.

Welcome pennsygal! Indeed congrats for getting through chemo. We will be silently (possibly snickering) in your pocket this week for your scans. We will not be snickering at you. I mean we are allvery silly, and Slow Deep and Tomboy can't keep a straight face for 5 minutes!
You know that already if you've been lurking. We get by our worries by laughing. I hope you get what I mean. We care. Try not to worry.

I'll be having a dinner of asparagus with alkaline lemons the night before my sim; I'll be fine if i do, right?

Had a reeling afternoon reading my pet scan results myself. The mind is so vital on this road. I need to know what's happening but also find a place to put it down. I pray that since my system is 'medically naive' there will be some swift response. Until then. There are the senses and continuing to engage with life. All of you beauties. Garlic wafting through the air. Music. And belief.

Lovely photo Gaia- looks very female to me. I can't imagine how difficult that must be to have read that yourself, alone. You better turn up the music, girl. Thinking of you.

hang in girl, if that is your idea of good food, you are on the right path

The food thing is too much - I am at work when I am looking at these pictures.
I am definitely going to do a fall garden and aspire to follow in your footsteps Gaia and Sula and someone else I heard blogging about food. By the time I get home from work, I am famished and juste EATTTTTTTTTTTT

thanks Katy and iris. The MO had indicated what was up; mets bones, several places. But sitting with it myself is a whole other universe
So I will breathe and I did dance but funnily everything seemed to hurt after reading that thing! Which confirms that the mind us important. So I know we all have our trials. Big and small and I know that, unfortunately, on this path I am not the first or the last to travel it.
For tonight I'll eat my dinner and probably later revisit our fantastic village filled with ladies kicking butt.
Breathing
Oh and iris. Food is awesome and here's the kicker I have eaten that way my whole life so who the hell knows what gives? Here's my solo dinner
Hugs to all
